Bucs go with ticketless tickets

The team that hasn’t had to print an abundance of tickets lately could soon have to print none.

The Buccaneers have become the first team to use paperless ticketing, with tickets purchased via a smartphone — and the phone then scanned upon entry to the stadium.

“We are always looking to enhance our fans’ gameday experience and keep the Buccaneers on the cutting-edge, so it’s thrilling to be the first team in the league to implement these mobile ticketing programs,” Bucs Vice President of Business Administration Brian Ford said in a press release.

Though no amount of widgets and gadgets will persuade folks to pay to watch a team that isn’t consistently competitive, little things like this will, in combination with other innovations, enhance the in-stadium experience.

“…no amount of widgets and gadgets will persuade folks to pay to watch a team that isn’t consistently competitive…”

So why do people keep saying that these consistently non-competitive teams should move to another city? If no amount of widgets and gadgets will persuade folks to pay to watch a team that isn’t consistently competitive, then no one’s going to watch them in LA or London either!

Sounds like a team that is cheap with player spending, that went cheap on hiring it’s new coach decided to save some cash on printing tickets. This is one reason (other than the losing) that the value of the franchise has declined. The Glazers have a loser’s mentality and are more worried about that soccer team in England

Hmmm – so now if you scalp purchase – you also have the priviledge of giving away your personal email address. “Dude, $750 – Four 50 yard line seats, I promise – just give me the money and ill email you – its legit I promise!” I think letting in Bucs fans for free would be a start – put the NFL ticket on the big screen- give them alternative viewing choices so they can avoid the ineptitude in the stadium.

I am a shmuck… Yes a AZ Cardinals fan. I have stubs from when my ” kinda good ” team was a crap ass cheap owner dump of a team. I also have my Falcons and Eagles playoff supper bowl run season ticket stubs.
For some reason, when going to the dance comes once in a blue moon, you really like memories like that.
